create bullets

1. Creating a background

First thing’s first, create a new document with a size of about 500 x 300 pixels with a black background.

2. Creating a bullet

In a new layer draw a eclipse using eclipse tool. Color used on eclipse tool is #907D44. Right-click the eclipse layer and select option Rasterize Layer (CS5).

Cut half of the eclipse as seen on the picture guide below:

3. Style your bullet (Layer Styles)

Right-click the layer and go into the Blending Options and apply Inner Shadow, Inner Glow and Gradient Overlay layer styles to this layer.

4. Final steps

Apply Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen More and duplicate layer from step two.

On new layer select entire bullet and go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur.

Right-click on duplicated layer and go into the Blending Options and apply Color Burn and Opacity level at 44%.

Merge both layers into one and after that duplicate it several times. That´s it.
